I'm buying an ESP ec 500

It suits what I enjoy playing. And from what I've read it's a nice guitar. I've played a few ESP guitars and liked them all. Can anyone recommend what kind of accessories I should use? Strings, pedals etc.

if you're looking at an ec500 i'd start looking soon cause they are no longer being produced and are being replaced by the ec401 series which MAY have worse build quality being in indonesia but i haven't been able to physically compare the two.

No, what I'm saying is I already bought it. It's getting here thursday.I want to know what strings and equipment I should use to make it best.
